635103 2008-01-29 08:39:00 I have recorded music from my sky music channel to the hard drive on the DVD recorder. Then I copied it to a DVD disk so I can instal it on a MP3 player via the USB port of my PC. This is a video file but not sure how to go about it??? bob.m (13015)
635104 2008-01-29 08:42:00 First you have to figure out if it can play video.

If it can, you have to find out what video format it can play (WMA/MP4 etc)

WHAT's the brand/model of this MP3 player.

And WHAT video formats can it play?

And what format did the recorder record in?

635105 2008-01-29 18:45:00 You should be able to open the file in something like Goldwave (Goldwave.com) which will then allow you to save it to the file-format of your choice, such as MP3 :) Chilling_Silence (9)
635106 2008-01-29 20:21:00 Goldwave will extract music out of an MPEG no problem then just save it off as MP3 best quality, which just saves off the audio.

Depending on your DVD Recorder as to how it recorded it, you might need to convert your VOB files to MPEG's first, not sure Goldwave can read VOB's or not. VOB2MPG (Free) would convert it back to MPEG.

Check out http://www.videohelp.com/ they have tutorials and info on doing such things.

If the video file on the DVD recorder is MPEG-2, copy it into your PC and play it with VirtualDub-MPEG. You should be able to save the audio only as a WAV, then convert it to MP3

635110 2008-01-30 10:38:00 Sorry cant be much help with the info you require. When I open the dvd on the PC the properties just tell me each set of tunes I have recorded as
VTS_02_01 VOB then Media Player which plays the tunes okay. The MP3 player is an el cheapo Dicky Smith DSE doesnt have video, however if I thought I could record the tunes on it I would buy another more suitable player.
